100 Useless Facts about me

Good times good times

We had an awesome weekend!

Because my parents couldn’t take the kids on Friday night the surprise
dinner was cancelled. (if they had known about the dinner they would have made
a plan but since I didn’t know I couldn’t tell them about it.) Not to worry, Himself
cooked and Jellen & Kim came round to our place.After dinner we sat chatting by the fire for
hours. Don’t you just love an open fire?

We met up with them again for lunch on Saturday … Kim had ‘taken’ the
day off from work, just to be able to spend the day with me.

It was not the most exciting game of rugby
but it’s always great to go and watch the game live Especially since there are so few games here in Belgium. After the game we walked round to the payers
exit … I really wanted Himself to introduce me to one of the players. They had
been in high school together, plus he is the ex Springbok rugby team captain.

While we were standing around waiting we spotted someone we knew in the
VIP area, who arranged for us to get in.Luckily Kim & Jellen could take the kids over to my parents cause it
turned into quite a long meet and greet session. As of Sunday the kids were telling me what bad parents we cause we just ‘dumped’ them on Jellen & Kim who, in
turn, just ‘dumped’ them at my parents. I think they were more annoyed that they didn’t
get to go into the VIP area cause they were going to go sleep over at my
parents in any case …. they are so lippy these kids of ours!

After we went out for drinks in town, saw loads more people who I haven’t
seen in years. It was great!I think we got home some time after 3 (I fell
asleep in the car on the way home).

Sunday morning it was up early and go go go. I had to fetch the kids
from my parents and then we had a breakfast date with some other friends.

Afterwards we went for a long walk in the
forest.

It was such a lovely day the
kids were out playing and riding their bikes till about 7:30 last night. I was knackered by this time and just wanted
to fall into bed.But by the time I had
the kids fed and put to bed and everything ready for this morning I was wide
awake…. didn’t get to sleep till about 11:30 so you can imagine how tough it
was to get up this morning.

Sounds like a GREAT weekend for sure!I know exactly how you feel - it was such a busy weekend, and I was exhausted, but then got into bed and was wide awake... didn't fall asleep til almost midnight last night. But now I'm so sleepy. Hopefully sleep comes easily tonight!

What I'm reading on the train

Who am I?

I am another working mom who is trying to do it all without having to do too much cleaning but who still dreams of living in a house fit for a magazine. All of this while trying to stay sane which can be hard when you’re not a dog person but somehow ended up having 3 dogs and a son who tells you that he loves the dogs more than what he loves you.. But I’ll tell you I'm dreaming of becoming a lady of leisure who will have time to cook healthy meals (which my family will eat), do some DIY, travel and read ... can you blame me? - Go on admit it you would like to be one too!
